#1 This really pisses me off. If the government can't see that this kind of Orwellian behaviour could be refocussed on Labour party supporters sometime in the future, then they're blind.

Expect support for the BNP to increase if this ban goes ahead.

#2 It is indeed a gift to the BNP, but that's also really beside the point. Where else have we seen people persecuted simply because of membership of (legal andf recognised) political parties? Plenty of places gllobally and historically, but not anywhere I'd imagine finding myself living. (And no, I never imagined I'd live in Belgium, home of the officially classified untermenschen and disenfranchised Vlaams Blok voters)

And of course this is a direct reaction to the BNP doing well. The price to pay for becoming not just an embarassment that can be laughed at by NuLabour Why do they just want to spitefully deny BNP members jobs? Is it because they can't do anything else? Do they think the public would get shirty if BNP members were evicted from council properties? Would we smell a decidedly intolerant rat if the names and addresses of all BNP members were posted in public places? If BNP members were made to wear identifying insignia?
